"All of the girls skied well," Cory said. "Mandy Haferkorn skied a very solid slalom and giant slalom race. Her second run in slalom was very fast which took her from seventh to fourth and missing the podium by just four-hundredths of a second."

Camille Cory experienced similar results.

"A great second run in slalom boosted Camille from 15th place to eight," said the Flivver coach. "Her giant slalom continues to improve with the second fastest time of the second run."

Only .24 of a second separated first through fifth.

"Maddie Coombs had a great day with a solid giant slalom," said coach Cory. "Top 20 for a freshman is tough to do. You can see she was getting a bit more comfortable as the day went on."

Freshmen Tonia Wilkey and Meghan Schultz did a "very good job" in their first regional meet.

"With so many good skiers and a birth to the state finals to be had, this can be a little nerve-wracking for a young skier," Cory said.

"They skied well and chalked up some very good experience."

For the boys, Cecconi raced to sixth in slalom (1:18.16).

"That was a very solid race for Nick," Cory said. "He wanted that state spot. A fundamental mistake in giant slalom cost him big.

Boys competition was fierce. There are 15 to 20 guys at anytime that can pull one off to win."

Marco Savarin led the Flivvers in giant slalom with a 24th (1:04.30). Matt Anderson posted a solid 33rd.

"Matt skied his best slalom of the year but an unfortunate mishap at the start cost him a top 20 finish," Cory said. "When he kicked out of the start, his ski tip dug in the snow and spun him out. He did recover and skied a very fast second run."
